Últimamente, Abraar Karan, médico especialista en enfermedades infecciosas en la Universidad de Stanford, ha atendido a muchos pacientes con goteo nasal, fiebre e irritación en los ojos. Estos síntomas podrían ser señales de alergias, covid o un resfriado. Y este año, existe una posibilidad más, la gripe aviar, pero la mayoría de los médicos no tienen forma de detectarla. Médicos como Karan advierten que, si el gobierno no se prepara para que las pruebas para la gripe aviar H5N1 estén más disponibles, otra pandemia podría tomar al país por sorpresa de nuevo. “Estamos cometiendo los mismos erro...

It’s been nearly three months since the U.S. government announced an outbreak of the bird flu virus on dairy farms. The World Health Organization considers the virus a public health concern because of its potential to cause a pandemic, yet the U.S. has tested only about 45 people across the country. “We’re flying blind,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at the Brown University School of Public Health.

This year, there’s another suspect, bird flu — but there’s no way for most doctors to know. If the government doesn’t prepare to ramp up H5N1 bird flu testing, he and other researchers warn, the United States could be caught off guard again by a pandemic. “We’re making the same mistakes today that we made with covid,” Deborah Birx, who served as former President Donald Trump’s coronavirus response coor...
